Marijuana Possession Charges in Des Peres, MO - for as little as $450

Did you receive a charge recently for possession of marijuana in Des Peres, MO (or in the St. Louis area)? When the drugs were found, did the police officer perform a legal or illegal search? Do you know how to tell the difference? Was the amount of marijuana found more or less than 35 grams? Do you know why that is an important distinction? If you are planning on pleading guilty to the charge, do you understand all the negative consequences that you will have to deal with? Are you aware that if you hire an experienced lawyer, he or she can help guide you through the process from start to finish?

It really is too bad that most people in Des Peres MO plead guilty to the charge of marijuana possession. People normally plead this way because they do not know or understand what their full range of options is. They do not know what their Constitutional rights are. And they believe that by pleading guilty, they will end everything much more easily. But the opposite is actually true.

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:

1. If you are caught with less 10 grams of marijuana, it is a Class D Misdemeanor (unless you’ve already been convicted on a prior possession charge, in which case it would be a Class A Misdemeanor).
2. If you are caught with between 10 – 35 grams, it is a Class A Misdemeanor.
3. If you are caught with between 35 grams – 30 kilograms, it is a Class C Felony.

Plus, you can also expect to see long term effects of pleading guilty as well. For instance, getting a decent job in the future can be difficult, getting an apartment can prove to be arduous, and obtaining a student loan can even be hard. All because of a guilty plea.

But at The Bankruptcy Company, we have a much different idea in mind. Our goal is to reach one of two conclusions: 1) get the charges dropped altogether; or 2) get the charges reduced to a minor infraction. Either of these options is far better to the alternative.
